Feeling like I actually lift for once with @ernielilliebridgejr . Bodyweight is sitting around 185. Technically could still drop to 165 but I’m really trying to bulk up to 195 to be more competitive in the 181 class. #teamlilliebridge #surgetonewlevels #NFP #powerlifting
Sometimes I’m too hard on myself but in 2015 I managed to accomplish a lot that I should reflect upon and be proud of:
1) I quit a job that was making me unhappy and started a business literally from scratch. Thankfully it’s been successful enough to allow me to open a gym hopefully by Summer of 2016.
2) I totaled 1520 at 165 which is a 9X bodyweight total and my squat managed to get me into the Top 20 Historical List with my total putting me in the #9 spot nationwide.
3) I finally hit a 600LB squat whereas two years ago I was lucky to hit 405 in wraps and thought “I wasn’t meant to squat”. Hard work, patience, and consistency paid off on that one big time.
4) I’ve officially had one full year with my sponsor NFP Gear and I couldn’t be any happier to be a company so humble and hard working as them. 2016 will be HUGE for the movement!
5) I celebrated four years with the beautiful Jackie Rodriguez. I think we grew a lot this year and I’ve learned a lot more about becoming a better partner and what love really means. Looking forward to 5 years in April now.
Thank you to my family, girlfriend, team, and sponsor for such an amazing year. I love you all and without you I wouldn’t be anything.
I’ve been slowly getting off Tumblr. I don’t blog anymore and I try to share some training footage but that’s about it. I’m not going to delete this altogether because I do like some of the stuff on here but if you want to follow I’m more active on IG, Facebook, and YouTube. Sort of on Twitter.
New Year’s is upon us and I have 5 one hour slots I can fit into my regular schedule for anyone interested! Taking on both general fitness clients and athletes interested in powerlifting!
#GeneralFitness - Typically I work with clients of both genders anywhere from 15 to 60 years of age and can cater to both weight loss and lean muscle gain. Some of the best results experienced by individuals include 20-30LBS of weight loss and even 15-20LBS of muscle gain!
#Powerlifting - I do a lot of work with lifters both male and female who are looking to get started in powerlifting and also those who wish to improve their totals. Most of my lifters hit PR’s after one training cycle and end up going 9/9 in competition while placing in the top of their divisions!
